About this event

Mistletone brings The Bats to Theatre Royal Castlemaine for their first show in town, with Good Moon on support. The Aotearoa four-piece are crossing the Tasman behind their 2025 album Corner Coming Up, their eleventh, recorded with Tex Houston at Chicks Studio in Port Chalmers.

Expect a set built around the new record plus picks from a catalogue that runs back four decades. Same lineup since their first gig on New Year's Eve 1982 in Dunedin, the band sit alongside The Clean and The Chills as a key part of the Flying Nun story.
